After the split-up of one of the most influential modern hardcore bands of
all time, Refused, bass player Magnus decided to create a radically different
sound in his new band Cobolt (a name made up from the element cobalt).
Ampersand Records in Sweden would release their first two long plays, "Eleven
Storey Soul Departure" (1997) and "Spirit on parole" (1998), which were
acclaimed by the whole indie press for their new approach to the slowcore
genre set up by bands like Seam or Codeine. The word was spread out and BCore
fell in love with the band and the songs, offering them the chance to record
a mini CD exclusively for the label. That was "A few hours captured" (2000),
which had such a success in Spain that made it run out of print in a short
time, with no reissues.

Slowcore band formed in Umea, Sweden 1996 by drummer Andreas Nilsson and
singer/guitarist Magnus Bjorklund. After six months of being a dynamic power
duo, bassplayer Kristoffer Larsson joined the band and a short while later
the flamboyant, yet tonally vibrant guitarist Johannes Berglund made the
outfit complete. Influences have been diverse and many; bands such as Red
House Painters, American Music Club, Idaho, Ride and many others prepared the
setting in which the bands sound was created. Cobolt has toured Spain (even
including the isle of Mallorca!), Germany and Sweden during the years.
